The Hierarchical Memory Model (HMM) of computation is similar to the standard Random Access Machine (RAM) model except that the HMM has a non-uniform memory organized in a hierarchy of levels numbered 1 through h. The cost of accessing a…
For a given graph $G=(V,\, E)$ with a terminal set $S$ and a selected root $r\in S$, a positive integer cost and a delay on every edge and a delay constraint $D\in Z^{+}$, the shallow-light Steiner tree (\emph{SLST}) problem is to compute a…
Uniquely represented data structures represent each logical state with a unique storage state. We study the problem of maintaining a dynamic set of $n$ keys from a totally ordered universe in this context. We introduce a two-layer data…
Embeddings of graphs into distributions of trees that preserve distances in expectation are a cornerstone of many optimization algorithms. Unfortunately, online or dynamic algorithms which use these embeddings seem inherently randomized and…

We consider the following generalization of binary search in sorted arrays to tree domains. In each step of the search, an algorithm is querying a vertex $q$, and as a reply, it receives an answer, which either states that $q$ is the…
We suggest a new non-recursive algorithm for constructing a binary search tree given an array of numbers. The algorithm has $O(N)$ time and $O(1)$ memory complexity if the given array of $N$ numbers is sorted. The resulting tree is of…

The dynamic optimality conjecture is perhaps the most fundamental open question about binary search trees (BST). It postulates the existence of an asymptotically optimal online BST, i.e. one that is constant factor competitive with any BST…
Path partition problems on trees have found various applications. In this paper, we present an $O(n \log n)$ time algorithm for solving the following variant of path partition problem: given a rooted tree of $n$ nodes $1, \ldots, n$, where…
We are interested in the asymptotic analysis of the binary search tree (BST) under the random permutation model. Via an embedding in a continuous time model, we get new results, in particular the asymptotic behavior of the profile.

{\em Reoptimization} is a setting in which we are given an (near) optimal solution of a problem instance and a local modification that slightly changes the instance. The main goal is that of finding an (near) optimal solution of the…
We revisit multipass pairing heaps and path-balanced binary search trees (BSTs), two classical algorithms for data structure maintenance. The pairing heap is a simple and efficient "self-adjusting" heap, introduced in 1986 by Fredman,…
Greedy BST (or simply Greedy) is an online self-adjusting binary search tree defined in the geometric view ([Lucas, 1988; Munro, 2000; Demaine, Harmon, Iacono, Kane, Patrascu, SODA 2009). Along with Splay trees (Sleator, Tarjan 1985),…
Optimal 3-way comparison search trees (3WCST's) can be computed using standard dynamic programming in time O(n^3), and this can be further improved to O(n^2) by taking advantage of the Monge property. In contrast, the fastest algorithm in…
Given an undirected, weighted graph, the minimum spanning tree (MST) is a tree that connects all of the vertices of the graph with minimum sum of edge weights. In real world applications, network designers often seek to quickly find a…
